[HELP WAN1ED there is an opening for the position of exhibition assistant. This job would consist of doing a few small jobs prior to a show opening, i.e. phoning various people to make sure they're onboard for the show ,and generally working with me organizing shows, and then possibly taking the job as Exhibition Director in Sept. 2007, and I would then become the assistant. Please phone 604-988-2737 or email spenceal@telus.net to ask any questions about the job. This is a great way to get to know a lot of people in the club.

Woi*.jhops crrieiaf4sfiwortfi 604-985-8498 fizshworth@slzaw.ca Unfortunately we had to cancel the February 25/26 watermedia workshop with Loreena Lee for lack of registrations. This is the first workshop we have had to cancel. I know Ms. Lee to be a fine teacher so perhaps we can secure her services at a later date. Michael O'Toole's workshop was very positively received. A full roster of people registered and a number of people have been placed on a waiting list. The membership's response and support of our workshops is greatly appreciated.
